Wah-oo-wah-oo, [Abm] wah-oo-wah-oo-wah-oo-wa-ee [E] Wah -oo-wah [B]-oo, wah-oo-wah-oo-wah-oo-wa-ee
[E]
Sitting by the ocean, me how she feel so sad Sitting by the ocean, me how she feel so sad
[B]
Don't got the money to [Abm] take me back to Trinidad
Fine Calypso woman, she cook me shrimp and rice [B]
Fine Calypso woman, she cook me shrimp and rice
These Yankee hot dogs don't treat me stomach very nice
In Trinidad, one dollar buy Papaya juice, banana pie
Six coconut, one female goat And plenty fish to fill the boat
One bushel bread, one barrel of wine And all the town, she comes to dine
But here is bad, one dollar buy Cup of coffee, ham or rye
Me throat, she sick from necktie Me feet, she hurt from shoes
Me pocket full of empty I got Calypso [Abm] [G] blues
[N]
[E]
[B] These Yankee girls give me big scare It's black the root, it's blondie hair
Her eyelash false, her face is paint And pads are wet, girl she ain't
She jitterbugs when she should waltz I even think her name is false
But Calypso girl is good a lot Is what you see, is what she got
Sitting by the ocean, me heart she feel so sad
Don't got the money to take me back to Trinidad
Wow wow wow wow wow wow
